Ohio State Buckeyes Football Injury Report Week 8

The Ohio State Buckeyes are dealing with key injuries to cornerback Denzel Burke, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, and running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams.

Denzel Burke's injury update

Denzel Burke suffered an injury last week. During the third quarter, Burke went to the medical tent, then went to the locker room and did not return to the sidelines.

The defensive back is dealing with a lower-body injury and his status for Saturday's game is very much up in the air. The Buckeyes have yet to announce whether or not Burke will play or if he will be inactive.

Emeka Egbuka's injury update

Emeka Egbuka left the Ohio State Buckeyes' Week 6 win over Maryland with an injury and was inactive in Week 7. He's currently listed as questionable with a lower-body injury.

If he can play, it would be a big boost for the Buckeyes' offense as the wide receiver has caught 22 passes for 303 yards and 3 touchdowns this season.

This season, Henderson has run for 295 yards and five touchdowns on 44 carries.
